5 hours....

just to laugh and share. eat and smile. acknowledge and learn.
~
three girlies getting together who have known each other only through blogging. she was warm to the touch and had eyes that i fell into. she had a smile and livelihood so young and fresh.
~
we talked about many of you
and
how you've become such an amazing part of our lives
~
how the blogging world is a delicious gift
and
how wonderful it is to share and understand
~
we talked about kids and food
and
a few dreams

did you know
she smirks when she smiles and can be a bit sassy
~and has a blog post about yesterday, too~
~
anyhow
my heart is a bit fuller today
all because of them. all because of five hours. all because of blogging.

  13. What a nice post. I've only met one blogging buddy thus far - Enchanted Oak - we had a wonderful lunch in Templeton, CA and bonded immediately. If I get to make my six month trip to India, I so hope to meet many of my fellow bloggers there!

  18. It was a totally delightful 5 hours. How the time flew as we enjoyed sharing and laughing together. Oh yes, we included you all in our visit. It is so fun to meet other bloggers and whenever I travel if one is in the area I try to meet face to face. So for me I came from Portland, Oregon all the way to beautiful, green Wisconsin. What fun we had. Thanks so much, beth. It was great to meet you.
